This is a very nice state park near urban metropolitan Orlando. Our back in site was great. Several warnings about bears and preventative measures, since this park is on the southern end of a very primitive area. The springs are quite nice. Very clear water. Quite a few swimmers, kayakers and canoers due to the mild February weather. A beautiful refuge in the woods close by to urban shopping and dining. - one_strange_texan

This is a very large state park located next to a busy suburban area, so lots of stores and restaurants are nearby. All sites are adequately sized back-ins on sand/dirt. It is helpful to use a large outdoor mat to keep the sand out of your RV. Sites in the 1-30 loop are FHU with 20/30/50 amps. Some of the sites in the 31-60 loop are also FHU with others only W/E-30 amp. The campground is in a sandhill forest with heavy shade, but the trees are well trimmed. Bathrooms/showers are up to date and clean. There are miles of hiking/biking trails. The springs and swimming area are lovely and there were very few people there mid-week in January. - JoyceM

Each campsite has plenty of room between them. Springs are about a mile away from the campground but easily done by bike. Several trails lead into the campground. Saw several turkeys and deer. Rangers were friendly. Springs were nice but crowded. Prices at gift shop were reasonable. No seeums were bad around 3-5 pm. - KathyMike

We didn't bother to set up at this location. We would only stay here again as a last resort. It's more of a permanent site ground. It was clean, the pull though site was level and travel to Orlando was convenient. If a true campground were to have availability we'd have stayed elsewhere. - On_my_whey

We stayed here for one week in our motorhome, the price reflects Passport America discount. The sites are quite large and many are shaded under large trees. It was pretty quiet, people adhering to the quiet times. The WiFi was strong and pretty fast...and free, it's hard to beat that. The office has many standard items for sale, but I stayed out of there after our initial check in due to the smell of cigarette smoke. We were shown which sites were open and sent out to choose our own place to land and then report back. Our site had two concrete strips to park on and a small concrete pad, but no shade as we wanted the better satellite signal. Most sites appeared to be on the grass. - Da Keeffes

This is a seedy little campground. The sites are very small and hard to get into if you have a class A Motorhome. The sites are not too level and navigation through the campground is tight. It's not bad for the price but I'm glad I was not on my own. There are a lot of rigs here that look like they haven't moved in years. Ants invaded the rig overnight, came up on the sewer hose. Bye Bye! - MrsB

Description of RV park on website is overly-exaggerated. Park does have a security gate - being that it does have a lot of permanent residents. It has about 30 sites that are reserved for temporary visitors. You have to check in at the convenience store located on the campground. Staff is friendly. Store is somewhat rundown. Our site was grassy, and after the rains got very muddy. Cable did not work. The cap on the sewer line was covered in tree and grass debris which leads me to believe that not too many temporary visitors come this way. The comfort station located close to our site was located in a very old building and not very clean. We stayed for 3 days during the 4th of July weekend. The park does have a nice large pool and offered activities for the kids. - JoelRamirez

We have been staying at this park for years since 1974. The park does need some improvements and the management is trying to shape it up. The front gate people do a good job of security. We have not had any problems with theft of anything. Its a nice place to stay for the winter and very reasonable. - LarryD

Reviews of Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake

Great location and great value. Only a few sites with full hook ups. Love the park and the facilities and would stay here again. - Cfishii

Nice find in theme park central. Quiet park less than 3 miles to Universal Studios, the reason for our visit. RV park is well separated from activities providing privacy and quiet. Roughly 1/2 the sites are fhu, rest are electric and water. Dump station at end of rv loop. Sites can be challenging to enter, roads are narrow with many trees. Sites are concrete pads, flat but not level, many rigs parked with wheels off the ground. Many big rigs in park prove that it can be done. No wifi but most sites were satellite friendly. Clean bathrooms with showers and good laundry room, washers $1.25, dryers $1. Sadly, an abundance of cigarette butt litter. Given the price and the solitude, we will definitely stay again when in the area. - lovinretirement

This is such a great park at a great price in a great location. It is within a mile of the city limits but feels like you're in a rural area. The campground sits back 3/4 mile off Hiawaaaee Road. The utilities are well placed. Most sites have concrete. There is space between sites and most are shaded. The laundry has four washers and dryers and are only $1.25. You hear a bit of noise from the turnpike but it's minimal. You will likely notice the sound of the fireworks from Universal more. It's close to I4 although we avoided it with the construction. Taking Turkey Lake Rd when you head south is a nice way to avoid traffic. My only complaint is that this park is called by rivers "the Bill Frederick shuffle". We had to move 4 times in 17 days and we reserved our site fivw months before arrival. Some sites (7) is very unlevel from front to back. I saw several small travel trailers on level sites while 35-45' RVs and 5th wheels were on unlevel sites. It's much easier for a small unit to level up on an unlevel spot. Parks should consider this when planning reservations. I consider myself lucky to even have a spot here. I would definitely stay again. - Tammy7

This park is clean and well maintained. There was apparently much damage during the last hurricane. The main office is in a construction trailer which is very neat, has a reception desk, mail pick up service, office and restroom. Park maintenance was busy raking and picking up leaves. The overall appearance of the park is a clean, well maintained park in spite of ongoing construction of new office and restoration of some RV sites. Front office personnel were friendly, accommodating and helpful. I recommend this park if you are in the area. It is particularly good if you are visiting Sanford. - LOWBill

We stayed for a week while visiting with family. The roads in the park were narrow and heavily treed but we did not have a problem in our 36 foot motorhome. Our site was large with a large concrete patio and picnic table. Most residents were full permanent residents with the unoccupied sites going to the transients. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. We would definitely stay there again when in the area. - RJ56

Spent 3 nights here while visiting relatives in Sanford. Mostly permanent residents, some who keep their places tidy but most do not. Good 50 amp, they said wifi works but it doesn't, good Verizon signal, no cable but plenty of OTA stations, trees blocked our satellite dish. Sites have a concrete pad but otherwise are gravel/dirt. Not much grass because it is so dry. No dog park-we walked our dogs around the park with no issues. We didn't use the facilities but we rarely do. Would look elsewhere if in the area again. - thekites

At check in they have been requiring campers to pay for a background check ($20). It doesn't state this on web or anywhere else. I refused, but they will accept some documents (eg carry permit) in lieu of. After this and being told all the restrictions I really thought the CG would be better setup. Instead it varied tremendously from very nice maintained rigs to derelict RVs that look abandoned for years. also, the only rule enforced was the speed limit. My site was in the 'premium' area. It had 6in deep ruts and exposed tree roots and the concrete pad was broken into about 40 pieces. All the hookups were conveniently located and wifi while slow was a strong signal. One neighbor was a nice coach and the other had a permanent old 5th wheel with 2 golf carts (one broken), 2 large trucks, extra cars when visitors came, a large enclosed trailer and stuff everywhere. Fortunately all the facilities were in good shape and lots of activities. (the Tiki Hut is a hangout for permanents) We would consider staying here again because of the facilities and the great group of campers we met. Apparently the CG has just sold again. Maybe some cleanup will be done. - RV_there_yet

We stayed here one night because it was close to family in Winter Park. This is a very large campground with a water park on the property. The check-in experience was very efficient, and the guide led us to our site and made sure that all equipment was functioning properly. Our site was grassy in a big open field, with a cracked concrete pad next to it. We had heard good reviews about the Tiki Hut bar at the marina, but they were closed for inventory the night we were there. All the employees were very helpful and all the campers very friendly. We would stay here again, but would try to get a site in a more wooded area. - melissab7

Needed a place to stay close to our RV dealer La Mesa and this was ideal. So surprised to see a huge 800 site park that was very close to nature and not sterile. The park is centered around wonderful waterway full of birds and even a safe place to swim. Sites are close together but we felt like we had room to enjoy because of all the trees and nature around us to walk through. Nice staff. Great dog park and dog wash. - Scooterd16

This park is in the process of being sold to a developer and will be closed in the next few weeks. Although a review is probably not necessary, I'll include some of the major issues. Maintenance was pretty much non-existent due to the sale. Water pressure was very low, we had to run our pump to keep the pressure up to an acceptable level. The 50-amp electrical service was running at about 109 volts, too low for RVs like ours. Bathrooms were old and not maintained, not cleaned regularly either. The people here were very nice, but since they were being forced to move there was a depressed mood as the moving trucks came in every day. Do not plan to stay here during the next month or so if you want to relax or have a good experience. We reserved many months ago before the sale went through and did not know what we were getting into. - LowesTravels

We have stayed in this park on several occasions and found the staff very friendly and helpful. There have been no issues with theft as mentioned in previous reviews and we felt perfectly safe here. The pool area is very nice. The laundry facility is very neat and clean. The spaces are about 30 feet wide, which we felt was adequate. The park does have a lot of permanent residents in it and it is not close to Disney, but is great for a few days relaxation when passing through the area. We would recommend this park and will stay here again. - DeeRon

KOA 10% discount for two nights at a supersize site The site was a long gravel and concrete pull-through site with FHU and 50 amps. There was a good sized concrete patio adjacent to the pad with a patio table, four chairs and two person glider. We had good Verizon cell and internet reception. We had good DishTV satellite reception. The park's WiFi was a little slow. The parks interior roads are narrow, but easily navigated. The park was quiet both day and night. We would stay here again. - Dave51

We had a great stay in this immaculately maintained KOA, even had the breakfast on Saturday it was delicious. We had a direct lake view site ( did not know I had even reserved this type) We will definitely stay there again. - rr2254545

Highly recommend this park. Great location on the lake and the fishing was excellent. Not a big park but staff and setting is excellent. They are clean and well manicured grounds. Nice pavilion with corn hole, horse shoes and ladder ball. Will surely be back. - Jaybird673

Very nice park. Great value for the Orlando area. The things that make this park good are: 1. great location 2. quiet 3. low cost 4. flat sites 5. good cell and TV reception 6. controlled entry at night 7. great camp staff 8. lot of shade 9. privacy is good. Important things to know: 1. Tight 2. lots of threes next to road 3. no sewer hookup 4. we were in a 34' fifth wheel and had difficulty parking and setting up. 5. anything over 30' the driver needs to be really good 6. dump station is poorly designed for larger RV Great place for a few days and a smaller RV. - Raptor 7

This is a great little park North of Orlando. The park itself is beautiful and as others mentioned there are several peacocks roaming throughout. The sites are nice and very wooded. Just a heads up the road through the sites is very narrow with one particular tree that grows at an angle over the road. It was difficult for me to get through with a 40ft DP even using a spotter. I am sure that more skilled drivers can do it but I'd recommend taking it very slow. Also, our site, #7, was not level and our auto leveller lifted the front tires off the ground. There seems to be no real consensus online if this is a bad situation (some say never do it, others say it is OK) but we did it for 4 days and had no problems. We skipped the dump station because again it looked somewhat difficult for a bigger rig to get in to. The campground overall had a great woodsy feel with very clean facilities and a lot of places to walk/hike. Its convenient to a lot of restaurants, a home depot, and a really nice Winn Dixie. - clink-182

Very secluded wooded sites. Had a pretty level gravel base. Sites were not very large but plenty of privacy bEcause of the trees between sites. There was plenty is seperate parking adjacent to the sites. Convenient to Publix and restaurants within 5 he Breakfast Club is particularly good. Showers were clean and spacious although the there was no private changing area. There were about 6 peacocks roaming the grounds, pretty cool. Had good cell service, acceptable satellite and about 60 OTA channels. - Crottys

The only reason I gave this park an 8 is that there is no sewer and as a spoiled camper, I like my sewer. The spots are level, bath house is very clean and looks relatively new. The roads are dirt but well maintained, as are the spaces. The spaces are shady with plenty of trees between for privacy. There is a boat dock to go out into Lake Monroe. We will rerurn to this very nice park. - esta34950

Great little park on Lake Monroe. Back in spacious and level sites with water and 30 amp. One clean out for the park. Has boat ramp on St. Johns River. Good TV and phone service. Sites are dirt and leaves. Just a short drive to Sanford which has a beautiful historic downtown. - Hey You

Rate was for 2 nights. We left after 1 night. If it rains (did) water flows from other sites into the bowl that is our site 3. Waded 4" water. No one at office during 1 pm to 5 pm time so no opportunity to change site before the rain and no site markings to determine if open or reserved for the night. I was not going to stand in 4" of water while disconnecting anyway. Several other sites looked much better. Several sites were tents - hard to believe with 95 deg heat. Water back flow valves old and leaked. Would stay again if options were limited, but definitely not site 3. - RubberNail
